Mary Epworth and the Jubilee Band
Black Doe Hand of Glory 7”

Article written by Ged M - Nov 12, 2009

The follow up to the wonderful ‘Saddle Song’ is excellent in its own way. This psychedelic folk has a pagan power; a banjo picks out a rhythm while synths oscillate wildly around it, and then the song crashes into a sort of industrial metal stomp for the ultra-catchy chorus, to the accompaniment of strident strings and bold horns. It’s alive with some supernatural force that makes it utterly irresistible. By contrast, ‘Lean’ on the flipside is back to her folky roots; the lone organ accompaniment shows off Mary’s gorgeous melancholic tones perfectly. Brilliant.
